AI Warning · Wake Up Call with Amy King

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM 640 Wake Up Call with me,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Amy King, on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: KFI and KOST HD2 Los Angeles, Orange County.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Now batting for Wake Up Call, your host, Amy King.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: It's 5 o'clock. This is your Wake Up Call for Tuesday,
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: September 15th. Good morning. I'm Amy King.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Happy to have
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you starting your day with us bright and early. Here's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: what's ahead on Wake Up Call. A fire near Whittier
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in La Habra Heights has destroyed three homes and burned
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: more than about 17 acres. Two people, including a firefighter,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: got hurt yesterday. Fire crews also worked to rescue a horse.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: that got trapped on a property in the area. Most
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of the active flames are now out, and the fire
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is 41% surrounded.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: The U.S.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court has sided with the lower courts and, for now,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: has rejected President Trump's mail-in ballot restrictions ahead of the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: midterm elections. The decision allows states to continue sending out
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: mail ballots under the same processes they've been using for years.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Jean Smart has done it again. She's won her fifth
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Emmy for hacks. She's been nominated five times for the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: role and won five times. That's an Emmy record. The
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series has
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: gone to Ray Sehorne for Pluribus. I can't wait for
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the next season of that show.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: It's so bizarre.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: If you missed him, we're going to get you other
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: winners from last night's 78th Primetime Emmys throughout Wake Up Call.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Everyone is still talking AI and how it just might
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: wipe out humanity. ABC's Mike Dabusky joins us to tell
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: us whether the worries are warranted and whether anything is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: being done to ensure the survival of the species. Donald
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Trump Jr.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Got married.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That was back in May. Dad apparently didn't pay for
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the wedding. A Russian oligarch did. ABC's Peter Haralambous joins
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: us a little bit later this hour to tell us
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: whether it was no big deal or if it was
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: an unforced error for President Trump. In just 10 days,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going over the edge along with Neil Saavedra. We're
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: raising money for Union Rescue Mission to actually help get
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: people off the streets and back into life permanently. They
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: really help homeless people, unlike some other entities. And we
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: need your help so they can continue their important work.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you how coming up a little
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: bit later on Wake Up Call. Let's get started with
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: The big waves last week, maybe just the beginning. Climate
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: experts say a weather phenomenon linked to El Nino is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: moving up the coast from Mexico. It's known as a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Kelvin wave. Forecasters say it will likely cause damaging waves
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: along the Southern California coastline this winter. The National Oceanic
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and Atmospheric Administration says Kelvin waves follow a coastal boundary
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: with the shoreline in the northern hemisphere. Experts say they
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: can raise sea levels by between 6 and 12 inches.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Three shipping containers have fallen off a ship and into
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the water at the Port of Los Angeles. The mishap
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: happened before noon yesterday near berth 302. No one got hurt.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: What caused the containers to fall is being investigated. Business
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: owners in L.A. say copper wire theft is costing them
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: cash and they want Governor Newsom to do something about it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Owns the restaurant Casa Fina in Boyle Heights.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: We've been open for over 50 years.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: He says the streetlights are constantly out because of copper
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: theft in the neighborhood, and it's unsafe. Ladies don't want
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: to come out because they're afraid.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: We have a parking lot in the back that folks
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: don't want to park in because they're afraid.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: He was at a news conference supporting a bill sitting
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: on Governor Newsom's desk that would classify some metal theft
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: as organized crime and make penalties stronger. He and some
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: lawmakers are urging Newsom to sign the bill. Opponents say
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: the bill won't stop the thefts. Jason Athenson, KFI News.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but that whole copper theft
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: thing just ticks me off. It's very just unnecessary. Doctors
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. have performed the hospital's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: first kidney and liver transplants between patients who were both
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: HIV positive.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: The patient who got the first HIV positive donor kidney
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: had been on the wait list for more than two
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: years and was not expected to receive an organ offer
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: in the near future. Once listed on the HIV positive
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: organ list, that patient received an organ offer in less
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: than a week. More than a decade ago, federal law
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: prohibited organs from donors with HIV from being transplanted into
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: any patient, including those who were also HIV positive. Debra Mark,
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: KFI News.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Share.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Share, says her dear friend Bob, has gone up to heaven.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Her friend, designer Bob Mackey, died yesterday in Palm Springs.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Cher says he's bringing sequins, beads, and his sketch pad
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: along with him. Good night, sweet prince.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Carol Burnett said sadness doesn't come close to how sad
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: she feels. Mackie was the costume designer for The Carol
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Burnett Show. Bob Mackie was 87. It's 5.07. I've got
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a frog in my throat this morning. Let's say good
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: morning to ABC's technology reporter, Mike Dubosky. So, Mike, the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: alarm bells have been sounding over what AI could do.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: How seriously should we take these warnings?
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: So there's a couple different claims out there, and we
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: should take them with different degrees of certainty, I think
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: is the big takeaway. So Dario Amadei wrote this big
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: thing over the weekend, claiming that within six to 12 months,
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: a swarm of AI agents could be capable of taking
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: over the entire Internet. Of course, this comes just a
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: few days later. after an Anthropic researcher named Jacob Coxon
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: resigned from the company, saying that he's concerned that Anthropic
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: and OpenAI, which he also worked at, know they're creating
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: a technology that has the possibility of wiping out humanity
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: by the end of the decade, but are doing nothing
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: to stop it. So let's start with Amadei's claim here.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Of course, and Amadei is the head of Anthropic.
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: Yes, he's the CEO of Anthropic, which is one of
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: the major AI labs out there. In this claim that
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: a swarm of AI agents could take over the Internet,
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: he cites the Hugging Face incident from earlier this summer,
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: which is something that happened at OpenAI, one of their
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: main competitors. Two models that were undergoing testing broke out
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: of their testing environments and hacked into Hugging Face without
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: OpenAI knowing. Anthropic had similar instances happen after the fact
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: that they figured out about their models doing things that
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: they were unaware of, that were hacking out of systems and,
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: you know, just kind of behaving in ways that we're
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: not expecting. So he is basing this sort of idea
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: in some semblance of reality, though extrapolating. He is taking
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: it several steps further by saying AI agents could, unbeknownst
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: to us, take over the whole Internet. Once we dive
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: into the details there, though, things get a little bit hazier.
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: For one, take over the Internet is really vague. Does
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: that mean shutting the Internet down? Does that mean changing
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: it in some way? The Internet is really distributed and
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: a couple of companies control big pieces of it like
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: Amazon and Google. But it still continues to operate even
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: if those guys go down or experience outages. For example,
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: the AWS outage from earlier this year, not the end
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: of the Internet, pretty disruptive. But, you know, things moved on. Also,
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: many AI researchers share Amadei's general concern about more hacking
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: incidents happening. But he's the only one who's really putting
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: a six to 12 month time.
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: Limit on it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: Basically, the hacking concerns here are pretty real and we
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: should be concerned about them. The taking the Internet over
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: in six to 12 months, it's somewhat loosely sketched and
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: should be traded with a little bit of a grain
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: of salt. Jacob Coxon's claim that, you know, we're all
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: going to die by the end of the decade, potentially
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: with regards to artificial intelligence. Anthropics alignment science lead Evan
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: Hubinger replied to that thread that he put up on
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: social media, saying that the percentage chance of that happening
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: is 10 percent. The good news here, despite how scary
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: that sounds, is that this seems to be mostly wild speculation.
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: It kind of goes back to this idea of a
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: P-Doom figure, which is a number that people in the
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: AI safety realm use to predict the likelihood of AI
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: eliminating human life on Earth. It is unfalsifiable. It can't
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: be proven wrong. There is no scientific process that these
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: guys did to arrive at this number. There's no methodology.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: What I'm saying is that it is basically just vibes
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: that they're coming off of here. Jeffrey Hinton, who worked
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: at Google for a long time on AI and is
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: sometimes called the godfather of AI, he told CNN that
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: anyone who estimates probabilities like that is really just making
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: a wild guess. They're giving you their gut feeling. Hinton
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: puts his P-Doom figure at 20%. Dario Amadei has his
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: somewhere between 10% and 25%. Some researchers like Jan Lequin
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: say it's 0%. Others like Elisir Yudkowsky say it's 100%.
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: Everyone's all over the map on this thing. I don't
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: think that we should really take that 10% number very
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: seriously at all.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, so you're saying there's a chance.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: ABC's Mike Dubosky, I know you're very busy because this
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: is a very hot topic, so you've got a lot
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: of people to talk to today.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: We thank you for your time today, and I'm sure
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: we'll be talking about this more in the future.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Totally.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: Thanks, Mike.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, 10%, 25%.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It's hard to tell because it sounds so outlandish that
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you're like, do you really believe it? I guess we'll
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: wait and see. And if it comes true, we won't
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: be here to see anyway.
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: OK, let's get back to some of the stories that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: are coming out of the KFI 24 hour newsroom. Kentucky
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Republican Senator Mitch McConnell's back. He was at the Capitol
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: along with other lawmakers who came back from summer recess yesterday.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: McConnell hasn't been at the Capitol since he took a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: fall at his home in D.C.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Three months ago.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: McConnell's absence has drawn a lot of scrutiny and speculation
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: about whether he would return at all. McConnell says he
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: isn't back to 100 percent yet, but plans to be
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: present as much as he can for key votes until
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: he retires in January. A Pentagon watchdog says the U.S.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: supply of munitions has been depleted. But ABC's Mary Bruce
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: says President Trump claims that's false.
• 10:29
  Speaker 12: The Pentagon watchdog is acknowledging that the war has led
• 10:32
  Speaker 12: to shortages of munitions, describing, quote, strategic inventory shortfalls and
• 10:37
  Speaker 12: bottlenecks in resupply. This is something that the administration has
• 10:40
  Speaker 12: denied now for months.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Trump insists the U.S. is now producing more exquisite and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: elite weapons than in any time in our history. Borders
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: are Tom Holman has confirmed the Department of Homeland Security
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: is investigating allegations Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married her brother.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Last week, Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wynn Mullen revealed to
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that there is an ongoing federal
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: investigation into Omar as part of an alleged fraudulent immigration scheme.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Mullen claimed Omar married her brother to try and bring
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: him to the United States. Holman confirmed to Fox News
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: that the investigation is ongoing. The Somali-born Omar has denied
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: the allegations. Mark Mayfield, KFI News.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: President Trump has authorized the EPA to eliminate the greenhouse
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: gas emissions limits on coal and natural gas power plants.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says the deregulatory steps... will deliver
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: savings running into the trillions of dollars.
• 11:37
  Speaker 13: So when we.
• 11:38
  Speaker 11: Talk about reliable, affordable energy, we're talking about reliable, affordable
• 11:42
  Speaker 11: and secure energy.
• 11:43
  Speaker 14: That could be geothermal, it could be hydro, it could
• 11:45
  Speaker 14: be nuclear, it could be oil, it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 11: Could be gas, and it can be beautiful, clean coal.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: The rule change is expected to face immediate legal challenges
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: with environmental groups calling the rollback a threat to public health.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Ford is recalling more than 220,000 F-150 pickups because of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: issues with the fuel tank. ABC's Chuck Severson says the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: tank may be improperly secured and leak or even fall
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: off while driving.
• 12:12
  Speaker 15: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that can cause
• 12:15
  Speaker 15: a crash and a fuel leak can cause an engine
• 12:18
  Speaker 15: stall or a fire. The recall impacts 2023 to 27
• 12:20
  Speaker 15: Ford F-150s. The agency says Ford isn't aware of any.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Related accidents or injuries.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Gas prices are up for the 28th consecutive day in L.A.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and Orange County. The average price for a gallon of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: regular gas in L.A. County is up to $ 6. 06 a gallon.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Orange County's average price also up a couple cents to $ 6.
• 12:44
  Speaker 14: 04.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: It's $ 5.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: 95 in the I.E. Gas in Southern California is up
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: almost $ 1. 40 a gallon since the start of the U.S.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: war against Iran.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Two former U.S. Navy sailors.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: who sold fentanyl to San Diego-based service members, including one
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: who suffered a fatal overdose, have pleaded guilty to federal charges.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: The 25- and 29-year-olds will be sentenced later this year
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: for selling oxycodone pills to a sailor on the USS
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln back in 2022 and then selling more pills
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to another sailor, knowing that the first sailor had died
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of an overdose. Malibu has issued the first certificate of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: occupancy for a completed rebuilt home that was destroyed or
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: damaged in the Palisades fire. City Manager Joe Irvin called
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: it a milestone that brings the meaning of recovery home
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in a very real way. Irvin also announced the city
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: has issued the 100th permit, allowing a property owner to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: begin reconstructions. Okay, we've been telling you that we're going
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: over the edge. So what exactly are we doing and
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: how can you help? So Neil Saavedra and I are
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: going literally over the edge of a 26-story building.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: It's the Universal City Hilton.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: You can see that big black building as you drive
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: down the 101. And we're going to rappel 25, 26
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: stories down to raise money for Union Rescue Mission. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: here's Here's the reason why we're doing it. We know
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that homelessness is a huge problem in L.A. We know
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that the city and the county have been throwing literally
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars at the problem and it's getting worse.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: But Union Rescue Mission actually helps people get off the streets,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: get them detoxed. get them counseling, get them education, in
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: some cases, job training, and then gets them back into life.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And they have a great success rate. And they get
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: no federal funding because they're a dry facility, which so
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: makes sense because so much of the problem with homelessness is,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: you know, drugs and alcohol. So they don't allow drugs
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and alcohol into their facilities. And for that reason, they
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: don't get federal funding. So it's all privately funded. We
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: need your help because... They are raising money so they
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: can help more people, you know, get back into life.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And it's such an important thing to give people a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: second chance, give them a hand up as opposed to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: just handing out money and maybe giving putting them in
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a hotel room for a month or two and then
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: throwing them back out on the streets. So on September
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: 25th and 26th, people are going to be going over
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the edge. And if you would like to help out,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and we hope you will, we know that money's tight
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: right now, but anything you can afford, we appreciate it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: And we would so love you to join in this cause.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Go to URM.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: And then if you go slash O-T-E, which means over
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the edge, you'll find us. There's a team KFI button.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And if you would donate, that would be great. If
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: it's 10 bucks, 100 bucks, $ 500, $ 20, whatever you can afford,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: we'll take it. 87 cents, 87 cents of every dollar
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: donated goes right into those homeless recovery programs. And Mark
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Hood at Union Rescue Mission says their goal isn't to
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: treat homelessness. It's not just to provide a shelter and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: just to provide a meal. It's to end homelessness. They
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: can do it one person at a time and we
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: can do it with more people with your help. So again,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: we would love to have you join us. And now
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: if you want to go over the edge and you
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: want to repel too, it is, I will tell you,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it's terrifying, but it's also very exhilarating and it is fun,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: although it's terrifying. But if you raise a thousand dollars,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Put a team together. Get your friends to donate. Or
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: if you want to donate $ 1, 000, you can go over
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the edge with us. We would love to have you. Again,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: September 25th, we're going over the edge. The place to donate,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and we so hope you will, is URM.org slash O-T-E.
• 16:52
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Did you watch the Emmys? Kono, is that you yelling no,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: or was that Will yelling no? I think it was everybody.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I know. So I used to just.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: get so jazzed about these shows and I loved them
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and I thought they were fun and it was cool
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to see everybody dressed up. Not so much anymore, but
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I did watch it because I thought, you know, we
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: should know what's going on. And it's so weird because
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: there's so few actual TV shows. I mean, there's streaming
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: shows that are, they won everything. I don't even think
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: any TV shows were nominated, but there were some highlights
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and I do think overall it was a good show.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: The funniest thing was, It was short. You know how
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the award shows always run way over. And so they
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: were playing the music out to get the actors to
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: shut up and get off the stage.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: They had Melissa Hargitay.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: She had to like stretch at the end because they
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: were they'd finished all the rewards are like, OK, let's
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: go home.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: But a couple of highlights. Jean Smart. Went five for five.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: She's been nominated for lead actress for a comedy five times.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: She's won it all five times for Hacks. Well-deserved. And
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: it's a show.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite shows. I'm going to miss
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: that one because the show has ended. OK, the other
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: one is The Pit, which I think is spectacular. Noah
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Wiley won Best Actor again for a drama. It's his
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: second straight win. And then it's so fun at the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: awards ceremony when the all the actors come up on stage.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: And it's so fun to see the cast all dolled
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: up because on the show they make them all. gritty
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and pared down and dirty and like that, you know,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: what they'd look like after they pulled a 15 hour
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: shift in the emergency room. I did think it was
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: funny that I can't remember the guy's name, but in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: his acceptance speech for Best Drama, he said, what you
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: do changes people's lives. I think that's silly. I mean,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you entertain, right? I don't think there's a show that
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: actually has changed my life. I don't know, maybe Hollywood
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: takes itself a little too seriously. Also, Widows Bay took
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: home a bunch of creative arts Emmys and was kind
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: of considered the front runner to win big last night,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and it did. Michael Reese won for Best Actor. The
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: writer Katie Dippel won. She wrote the original screenplay like
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: 18 years ago. I thought that was an interesting little tidbit.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Stephen Root won for Best Supporting Actor, and that was
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: in a category that Harrison Ford was nominated for for
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: shrinking and everybody kind of There was a lot of
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: talk that he might take it, sort of the sentimental favorite. Plus,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Harrison Ford does a great job in that show. And
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the direct-o-hero, Mariah, also won for that. In all, it
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: took home 14 Emmys, which is a record. Pluribus, lead actress,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Ray Sehorne took home that award. I love her in
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: that role. I can't wait for another series, another.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Season of that.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: And Slow Horses won, I believe it was Saul Metzda. Metstein,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: who was the director. Slow Horses won. And that's another
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite shows that it was nominated a lot,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: but it really didn't win much.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: And then The Late Show with Stephen Colbert won Best Variety.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: And I don't know.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I have obviously never watched it because You know, I'm
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: sleeping so we can be up and do wake up
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: call every day. But it was up against Saturday Night Live.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Jon Stewart, who I think is very, very talented. John Oliver,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: very funny. Did Colbert deserve to win or was it
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: kind of a statement from Hollywood because of what happened?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I'll leave that up to you. I will tell you, though,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I was very impressed that he was very grateful and
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: gracious and didn't turn that that speech political.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: He just had a beautiful acceptance speech. So that was fun.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, Michael J.
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: Fox.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: That was great. Michael J. Fox has done so much
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: for Parkinson's.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And he still, you know what, in spite of having
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a debilitating disease, he just powers on. And it's impressive.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: And I also thought the tribute to Dolly Parton was
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: very sweet. Nice job, Reba, singing a Dolly Parton song
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: that I hadn't heard before, but it was beautiful. And
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: then the In Memoriam makes me cry every time. I
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: just think it's a beautiful way to remember everybody. And
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis was wonderful remembering Rob Reiner and Michelle.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Kind of reminds us life is fragile. Time marches on.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: But it was beautiful.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Also fun seeing Charlie's Angels 50 years later. 50 years later.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Beautiful ladies.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Governor Newsom doesn't want to face former Vice President Kamala
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Harris in the 2028 presidential race.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: If Kamala Harris runs for president again.
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: But I wouldn't run if she ran.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: If she runs, you will not.
• 21:35
  Speaker 11: Of course not.
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: Why would I?
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Newsom telling that to CNN's Jake Tapper while the two
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: were fishing in Montana.
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: First of all, electorally, it's a gift from God for
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: everybody else. They enjoy the hell out of it. Mutual
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: assured destruction. It services no greater good.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Then Tapper said Newsom's never run and Harris has run twice.
• 21:51
  Speaker 11: I mean, that would be the. That'd be the approach
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: to the campaign, certainly. That would be the case you'd make.
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: Pretty good one, actually.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: But Newsom then doubled down, saying if she's in, he's out.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: Jason Aithenson, KFI News.
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: L.A.
• 22:03

• 22:18
  Speaker 1: for change.
• 22:19
  Speaker 11: A mayor who loves L.A.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: As much as we do. Who will work to keep
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: our streets safe and pothole free.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Who will fight to keep Hollywood in Hollywood.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: It also paints Rahman as the candidate for affordability. A
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: former L.A.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: County Sheriff's deputy has been sentenced to 21 months in
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: federal prison for abusing his status as a law enforcement officer.
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: U.S.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Attorney's Office says Christopher Cadman threatened and intimidated adversaries of

• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Cadman worked for Adam Iza, who's been in federal custody
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: since 2024, for wire fraud and tax evasion. The plan
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to ban gas-powered appliances in California is cooking again.
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: They don't have any limitation on their crazy ideas.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: The state legislature is looking to pass a bill checking
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: out the cost and implementation of banning gas-powered appliances in
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: homes and restaurants.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: They say that they need to get rid of natural
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: gas appliances because they're trying to save the planet.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: What they're going to do is end up creating a disaster.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: Assemblyman Carl DeMille from San Diego is afraid of what's next.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: $ 30, 000 for the typical house to be retrofitted. This is insane.
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: The Victor Valley High School football team and its coaching
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: staff has been suspended for a week. Victor Valley beat
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Apple Valley last Friday to retain the so-called Bell Trophy.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Good to know.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: School administrators, though, say after the game, the Victor Valley
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: team displayed... Offensive gestures and language toward the Apple Valley
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: team and its fans. A video that's making its way
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: around social media shows the Jackrabbits mascot giving the middle
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: finger to spectators. Because of the suspension, Victor Valley will
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: forfeit its game against Brea Olinda High School that was
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: supposed to be this Friday night.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: As an alumnus of Apple Valley High School.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't know you went to Apple Valley, huh?
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: I must say I concur with this decision.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, good.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Jackrabbits.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: OK, one last Emmy's note.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: There were Mark Ruffalo, I know, was nominated for this
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and Task was nominated a few times, this show called Task.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: And I was like, what the heck is Task? And
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: you know how we.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I do that segment called Amy's on it because there's
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: so much out there on the stream that it's hard
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: to find everything. And now do you know what it is?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you, I'm going to watch it
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: now because I had never heard about it. I've never
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: even heard the name. And Tom Pelfrey, one best supporting
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: actor for his role in Task. It's on HBO, an
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: American crime drama that follows an FBI agent leading a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: task force to stop violent robberies in Philadelphia's suburbs.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Its first season was last year. Second season confirmed. So
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get on it and I'll let you
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: know if it's any good. Your official home for Dodger
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: baseball is AM570 LA Sports. This afternoon, your back-to-back world
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: champion Dodgers take on the Reds in Cincinnati. First pitch
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: goes out at 340. You can listen on AM570 LA
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Sports and stream it on the iHeartRadio app live from
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the Galpin Ford broadcast booth. Director Rob Reiner's youngest son,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: who is charged with killing his parents, is due in
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: court in LA. It's for a procedural hearing leading up
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to his trial. Nick Reiner turned 33 yesterday. He's accused
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of murdering his parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner, back in
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: December at their home in Brentwood. Police are asking for
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: anyone who saw a pedestrian get hit by three separate
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: cars while crossing a street in Long Beach to contact them.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: The man died.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: It happened Sunday night at 725 on Pacific Avenue near PCH.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Police say a white SUV and then a dark colored
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: sedan both hit the man and then a man driving
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: a Jaguar hit him. He's the only one who stopped.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Senator Mitch McConnell back in the U.S. Senate.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: The 84 year old made his first public appearance since June,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: arriving on the Senate floor in a wheelchair yesterday. He
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: joined the rest of the Senate returning from summer recess.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: McConnell was in the hospital and out of the public
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: eye for more than three months after falling at his
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: home in D.C. At 6.05, its handle on the news,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court said no to President Trump when it
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: comes to restricting mail ballots.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Bill's going to have a thing or two to say
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: about that.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: California Democratic Representative Ted Lieu says President Trump and House
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Republican leadership are on the wrong side of history by
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: not regulating the AI industry.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Lew is criticizing House Speaker Mike Johnson for giving members
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: two extra weeks vacation instead of issuing subpoenas to AI
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: leaders now. When I spoke to the congressman last week,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: he was advocating a kill switch for AI amid reports
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: that systems had gone rogue and could harm people.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: AI models have now gotten so advanced that they can
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: cause catastrophic harm. And society has a way of dealing
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: with this issue. They're called kill switches. So heavy machinery
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: has kill switches. High-speed rail has kill switches. Jet skis
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: have kill switches. And even your Apple iPhone. So we're
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: just saying to these AI companies, hey, look, when you
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: build an advanced AI model, make sure you can turn
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: it off if it goes rogue. And then we give
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: a process for government to order it to be shut
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: down if it gets out of control.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Over the weekend, President Trump dismissed concerns about AI. Liu
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: told me the administration's let the industry run wild.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: And the administration made an intentional decision not to do
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: any regulations. And that has been a mistake. It's harmed America.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: It's harming even the AI industry because now there's a
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: massive public backlash. And that's why we need to put
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: in common sense legislation like the AI kill switch bill,
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: which is bipartisan.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: There's been reporting that even though AI leaders know the
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: dangers of what they're creating, some are reluctant to stop
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: out of fear some other country or company will do
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: the work anyway, creating what I call an insane arms race.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: It is an insane arms race. And the example you
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: raised with anthropic stopping biological weapons information from being given
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: to potentially a rogue nation or terrorists, their argument is, well,
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: if we don't do this, then China might deal with
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: a model that can build a biological weapon. But you
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: know what? Both are very, very bad. And so just
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: because another country can build a virus that can kill
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: humanity doesn't mean we should let anthropic do that, too.
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: Liu said ultimately, AI is a tool that can be
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: used for good or bad.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: And so we need to make sure that it's being
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: used for good purposes to help society, but then to
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: regulate any issue regarding catastrophic harm that an AI model
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: could pose.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Mark Rauner, KFI News.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's John Tucker. Morning, John.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: Good morning. You hesitated.
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: Yes, it is John Tucker.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I know because I almost said Denise Pellegrini, who's going
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: to be joining us again in.
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: A couple months.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: Sorry about that.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: No, we love to have you, John.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And we love to have you tell us about interest
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: rates and the treasury bonds. I just did a story
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: on this and I was like, okay, am I tracking right?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And so I'm glad that we're talking about this today.
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: so this is the 10-year Treasury note. It's called the
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: benchmark of the U.S. It's used to set everything from
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: your mortgage rate to your car loan, credit card rates.
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: It has now crossed the highest level in almost two decades,
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: going over 5%. Bond yields, they've been rising globally, Amy, since,
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: of course, you know, the U.S. and Israel launched the
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: assault on Iran in late February. And this all raises
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: the stakes ahead of this decision that we're going to
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: get from the Federal Reserve tomorrow. If they don't hike
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: interest rates, or if the Fed Chairman Kevin Wurst sounds dovish,
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: like he's not going to do anything, bond investors may
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: demand even higher yields to protect against inflation. And meantime,
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: around a third of fund managers was in a survey
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: by Bank of America identifying a disorderly rise in bond
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: yields as the biggest risk to the market, even ahead
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: of the AI bubble or a second wave of inflation. So, yeah,
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: it's something to think about at this point.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: So, the Treasury note is up to its highest level,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I think, since 2007, right? So, 2007. So that could
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: increase mortgage rates, car loans, and also credit card interest rates?
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Or it could lead to it?
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: It will.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: It will lead to it.
• 30:33
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: That's not good news because credit card rates are stupid
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: high right now.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: There's a reason.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you this.
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: This is just a fun fact. If you look at
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: the back of your credit card, they're all based in Delaware.
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: And Delaware, the reason they did that, and this was
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: actually when Biden was the senator there, they sort of
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: like relaxed all the regulations with respect to banks and industry,
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: so they could charge anything. So, a little history there.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: Not happy about that.
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: We have a milestone for the robotics industry. What is that?
• 31:04
  Speaker 9: An AI researcher, this is Agility Robotics, pardon me, unveiling
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: a new humanoid. It's designed to safely work in close
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: proximity to people. It's called the Digit 5. It's designed
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: to conduct pretty complex work like loading materials onto equipment,
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: sorting parts, sequencing and inspecting items and agility. The company
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: is going to go public this year. Now, it used
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: to be where you have robotics in factories, it would
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: have to be surrounded by like a fence, a metal
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: fence or a plexiglass. Here, they say they can work
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: directly with humans to improve safety. The Digi-5 uses artificial
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: intelligence and new sensors to understand When it's nearby people
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: and take actions such as stopping or sitting if necessary
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: to avoid a collision, it also uses a visual and
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: auditory cues to send alerts to others when it's about
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: to move. And then in a few years, it'll just
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: turn around and kill everybody.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: No, no, no. We talked to Mike Tobusky.
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: That's not a good workplace environment.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Get in your business as we do each weekday morning.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: This morning with our own John Tucker with Bloomberg. Thank
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: you so much. We'll talk to you again soon.
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: All right. Thanks, Amy.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: The FAA temporarily suspended some flights into LAX because there
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: weren't enough people working at Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: SCT serves most airports in Southern California. Officials didn't say
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: exactly how many flights were impacted yesterday during the temporary
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: ground stop, but say operations did quickly return to normal.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Federal investigators are looking into Governor Newsom's travel and personal spending.
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: The U.S.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Attorney's Office has issued subpoenas asking for nearly six years
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: of communications to find out who is paying for the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: governor's international travel and events. Doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: have performed the hospital's first kidney and liver transplants between
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: patients who were both HIV positive. The approach that was
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: illegal until 2013 can significantly shorten the wait time for
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: a life-saving organ. Both patients are said to be doing well.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Peter Haralambu. So
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Peter Donald Trump Jr. got married earlier this year. That's
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: not the issue. What the issue is, is who paid
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: for it?
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: That's a great point, because we're now learning, according to
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: a ProPublica report, that this entire thing, two days of
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: celebrations on a lavish Bahamas island that you might have
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: seen in Casino Royale or the Pirates of the Caribbean movie,
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: were bankrolled by Russian oligarchs, someone with incredibly close ties
• 33:42
  Speaker 10: to Vladimir Putin, someone who actually traveled with Putin to
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: China on a state trip just days before the wedding.
• 33:49
  Speaker 10: After this report came out, Donald Trump Jr. and his
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: new wife, Bettina Trump, acknowledged it, basically saying that this
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: was a, quote, gift from a close friend. They sent
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: a statement. Our dear friend Umar very generously hosted two
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: incredible nights of celebrations after our wedding. They said it
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: was a, quote, extraordinarily generous wedding gift and argued that, quote,
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: friendship doesn't require a political motive.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: OK, so and so my question is, from what you're
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: hearing and seeing is, is this no big deal.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Or is this kind of an unforced error?
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: That makes Trump look bad because we know that the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Trumps have had relationships with businesses in Russia for years.
• 34:30
  Speaker 10: But I mean, it's a great question because you're looking
• 34:34
  Speaker 10: at someone who doesn't actually have an official role in
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: the federal government.
• 34:37
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: Donald Trump Jr. is a private actor. He's made millions
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: of dollars with his investment firm, with his crypto company.
• 34:44
  Speaker 10: But he doesn't work for the president, despite the fact
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: that he wields tremendous influence within the MAGA movement. That
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: being said, it's certainly a very bad look, considering how
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: Russians are well known for these kind of influence operations,
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: where they basically get close to someone. And eventually, it's
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: not like these gifts come with no strings attached. A
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: favor will eventually come if you ask former folks who
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: would handle these kind of foreign concerns. folks with the FBI,
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: folks with the CIA, they've repeatedly said that stuff like
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: this is a red flag, that eventually there's this concern
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: that someone like Kremlin might have a favor that he's
• 35:19
  Speaker 10: going to request, and that the president, the president's son,
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: might be put in a tough place. Umar Kremlin, again,
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: someone who's incredibly close to President Putin. Not only did
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: he travel to China, he was recently bestowed a high
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: civilian honor, the Order of Friendship by Putin. He's been
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: the subject of Ukrainian sanctions. He's someone who's considered a
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: deeply close ally who is basically willing to do whatever
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: Putin asks of him. Again, raising tremendous concerns why the
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: eldest son of the president, who I'll note as a
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: net worth of more than $ 300 million, didn't just pay
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: for it himself, but rather relied on this ally of
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: Putin who is a Russian oligarch.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is interesting because it just nothing illegal was done.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: But like you said, it just it's a bad look.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: And it's interesting that they're not trying to deny it
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: or anything. They're like, yeah, our friends paid for these parties.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: They rented this island or whatever. President Trump did respond, though,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: basically said he didn't know the guy, right?
• 36:18
  Speaker 10: That's right. President Trump said he had, quote, no idea
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: who this Kremlin guy was, though he said it was, quote,
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: no big deal, saying that this was the after party.
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: Melania Trump also distanced herself from this, saying that she
• 36:28
  Speaker 10: had no role in organizing this or financing this. Both
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: Trump and Melania did not actually attend the wedding celebrations
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: back in May. They basically said that Trump said at
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: least that he was busy with the conflict in Iran.
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: That's why he didn't attend this. A lot of questions,
• 36:44
  Speaker 10: specifically where you are in L.A. You guys are hosting
• 36:47
  Speaker 10: the Olympics in 2028. Kremlin's main role is running the
• 36:51
  Speaker 10: International Boxing Organization. That's an entity that has been ridden
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: with scandal due to its close relationship to both the
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: president of Russia, Russian financing, potential doping. All of those
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: concerns have really mounted this criticism that it's possible Kremlin
• 37:08
  Speaker 10: comes asking the United States for help when it comes
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: to the Olympics in 2028. In fact, in January 2025,
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: Kremlin wrote a letter to Trump urging him to reconsider
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: the international boxing organization's connection with the Olympics. A few
• 37:22
  Speaker 10: months later, both Donald Trump Jr. and Kremlin spoke on
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: a panel together in Istanbul. Afterwards, Kremlin spoke about a
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: statement saying the relationship was, quote, more than symbolic and
• 37:32
  Speaker 10: that there will be more initiatives to follow. So a
• 37:35
  Speaker 10: lot to see in the coming months and years, especially
• 37:37
  Speaker 10: when it comes to that connection between the International Boxing
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: Organization and the 2028 Olympics.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: And everybody's going to be watching about this one.
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: OK.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: ABC's Peter Haralambos, thanks so much for the information, the
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: clarification on what's going on there.
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: Thanks for having me.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's get back to some of the stories
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Prosecutors have been
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: forced to drop murder charges against a man suspected of
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: masterminding the execution-style slayings of two men in L.A.
• 38:05
  Speaker 15: County.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: It's apparently because of an extradition decision by authorities in
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Montenegro where Richard Wall Sr. was living during the investigation.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: He's back in the U.S.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Wall allegedly had Jeffrey Titus killed outside his home in
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Rolling Hills Estates back in 2009. and then also had
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: his former employee Juan Mendez killed in 2011. He was
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: shot in front of his children in Whittier. Wall is
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: also suspected in a third killing in Las Vegas.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: News brought to you.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: By American Vision Windows. The relationship between SoFi Stadium and
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Englewood is getting sour.
• 38:42
  Speaker 16: A judge says the contract which put the stadium in
• 38:44
  Speaker 16: Hollywood Park is void. The deal from 2015 had companies
• 38:47
  Speaker 16: paying for the infrastructure up front, and Englewood would reimburse
• 38:51
  Speaker 16: them later. Stan Kroenke, who owns Hollywood Park, the L.A. Rams,
• 38:54
  Speaker 16: SoFi Stadium, and the companies who fronted the money, say
• 38:56
  Speaker 16: the city owes about $ 400 million. The judges ruling earlier
• 39:00
  Speaker 16: this month said the original deal was bad because it
• 39:02
  Speaker 16: didn't allow for things including a public vote on the project.
• 39:05
  Speaker 16: Hollywood Park and Englewood both said they want a new
• 39:07
  Speaker 16: financial arrangement with SoFi Stadium set to host the Super
• 39:10
  Speaker 16: Bowl next year and the opening ceremony of the 2028 Olympics.

  Speaker 4: Orange County D.A.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Todd Spitzer says close to a thousand e-bikes and e-motorcycles.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: have been turned in at a weekend buyback for e-bikes.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Spitzer tells KFI's Monks and Merrill, businesses are being warned
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: about trying to sell e-bikes to parents.
• 39:30
  Speaker 13: We've warned them if you sell to somebody and it's
• 39:33
  Speaker 13: out of classification or it's modified or you explain to
• 39:37
  Speaker 13: them how to modify it and we catch you, I
• 39:41
  Speaker 13: can prosecute you.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: He says they had budgeted about $ 100, 000 in gift cards
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: for the bike buyback, but quickly blew through that. National
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Park Service has recovered human remains found in the Grand Canyon.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Authorities have only said the remains were located near Crystal
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Rapid on the Colorado River yesterday. The discovery was made
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: as crews have been searching for a missing hiker, Tim Smith,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: who was unaccounted for after flash floods hit the Grand
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Canyon on August 29th. Two of Smith's friends were confirmed
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: killed on September 1st. Elon Musk's spaceflight company is suing
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
• 40:18
  Speaker 14: The suit also names the county in Texas where SpaceX
• 40:21
  Speaker 14: is planning to build a multi-billion dollar semiconductor plant. It's
• 40:24
  Speaker 14: an effort to keep information about the so-called TerraFab project secret.
• 40:29
  Speaker 14: The TerraFab project is a massive semiconductor manufacturing mega factory
• 40:33
  Speaker 14: planned for Grimes County. The AG's office previously ordered Grimes
• 40:36
  Speaker 14: County to answer public record requests seeking details about tax
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: breaks it had granted. Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
